Hide Profile

The British artist George Garrard served an apprenticeship with Sawrey Gilpin, later his father-in-law. He first exhibited sporting pictures, then city views and landscapes. Guided by his patron, Samuel Whitbread MP, he expanded his artistic range as a sculptor of both animal and human forms. Besides portrait busts, he created series of scale models of cows and oxen in clay, then mass-produced in plaster.
